West End at War: history, photos, memories, and maps of London during the Second World War

Welcome!

Westminster's wartime story can now be told on the West End at War website, thanks to a £50,000 Heritage Lottery (HLF) Grant. The website forms part of a larger project to mark the 70th anniversary of the Blitz in 2010. The website features previously-unseen colour film, summaries of bomb incidents, eyewitness accounts and a large collection of contemporary art works commissioned to record the impact of the Blitz on this famous London Borough.

A large part of this website has been put together by volunteers. By registering with us you too can contribute to our growing website.
